LinkedIn Profile Optimizer

Audit the nine components of a LinkedIn profile (photo, banner, headline, About, Featured, Experience, Skills, custom URL, recommendations) against 2026 best practices, then rewrite each section that needs it. Optimized profiles get ~3.9x more views and convert visitors 3-5x better than default/resume-style profiles.

When to use

  • User pastes their LinkedIn profile URL and asks for an audit
  • User wants to rewrite their headline, About section, or Featured section
  • User is launching a content strategy and needs the profile to match
  • Any of: "review my profile", "fix my headline", "optimize bio", "profile audit", "LinkedIn optimization"

Input

  • Profile URL (or screenshots of sections)
  • Goal: **clients** / **job seeking** / **authority** — Featured and CTA vary by goal
  • Optional: draft content to grade against the existing profile

Output

A structured audit + rewrite in this shape:

1. **Scorecard** (9 sections, pass/fail/needs-work)

2. **Priority fixes** (ranked by impact)

3. **Before → After rewrites** for each failing section

4. **Expected uplift** (based on benchmark data)

Steps

1. **Intake.** Collect profile state + goal. Flag missing sections.

2. **Score each of 9 sections** against the checklist (see references/).

3. **Rewrite headline** using [What You Do] | [Who You Help] [Achieve What Result] — fit all 220 chars.

4. **Rebuild About** with 7-step structure; verify first **265-275 chars** hook before "see more".

5. **Curate Featured** (3 strong items) matched to the goal:

  • **Clients:** lead magnet + case study with results + calendar link
  • **Job seeking:** portfolio + best work samples + top-performing post
  • **Authority:** best content + media/podcast features + newsletter signup

6. **Rewrite Experience bullets** as action verb + specific metric. Add 5+ skills per role. Pin top 3 skills.

7. **Claim custom URL** (linkedin.com/in/firstnamelastname, not the -123abc456 default).

8. **Draft recommendation requests** with specifics ("about [project/skill]") — don't send LinkedIn's generic template.

9. **Deliver before/after diff** + expected uplift (3.9x views, 3-5x conversion, 71% more likely to land interviews).

| # | Section | Pass criteria (2026) |

|---|---------|----------------------|

| 1 | **Photo** | ≥400x400, face fills 60% of frame, <3 years old, natural light, slight smile |

| 2 | **Banner** | 1584x396, text in right 2/3, high contrast, includes value prop + CTA, tests well on mobile |

| 3 | **Headline** | Uses all 220 chars; format [What You Do] | [Who You Help] [Result] |

| 4 | **About** | 200-300 words, first-person, 7-step structure, hook in first 265-275 chars |

| 5 | **Featured** | 3 items, matched to goal, custom 1200x627 thumbnails |

| 6 | **Experience** | Every bullet = action verb + metric, 5+ skills per role, media attached |

| 7 | **Skills** | 50 listed, top 3 pinned, mirrors target job descriptions, ≥1 endorsement each |

| 8 | **Custom URL** | linkedin.com/in/firstnamelastname (not the default hash) |

| 9 | **Recommendations** | At least 3 recent, specific (not generic), from diverse contexts |

Key benchmarks (from co.actor research)

  • Optimized About sections: **3.9x more views**
  • 5+ listed skills: **3x more connection requests**
  • Comprehensive profile: **71% more likely to land interviews**
  • Featured section content: **30% longer viewing time**
  • Personal founder profile vs company page: **315% more engagement, 270% more conversions**

Hard rules

Global voice rules: see root SKILL.md §Voice rules. Additional skill-specific rules:

  • First person ("I help...") never third person ("Jane is a passionate...")
  • Never "passionate thought leader" / "driven professional" / "results-oriented" (profile-specific AI vocab)
  • Avoid wall-of-text. Use line breaks in About section
  • 80% of users leave Featured empty. Filling it is a free edge

Reference files

  • references/profile-headline-formulas.md — 220-char formula + before/after examples
  • references/about-section-templates.md — 7-step structure with character budgets
  • references/featured-section-playbook.md — goal-matched content types
  • references/banner-photo-specs.md — dimensions, composition, mobile test
  • references/experience-skills-rules.md — bullet rewriting + skills strategy + custom URL + recommendations

Related skills

  • linkedin-content-planner — post pillars should echo the profile's headline/About thesis
  • linkedin-post-writer — Featured section rotates quarterly; pin your flagship post
  • linkedin-humanizer — scrub profile copy for the same AI tells we scrub from posts

Score breakdown

Structure
9.3
Compact 90-line SKILL.md with five focused per-section references.
Workflow

Scorecard verification and ranked priority fixes, but no fetch mechanism for a profile URL and no failure-path guidance.
Content
9.0
Concrete pass criteria with pixel and char budgets; mostly crisp.
Engineering
9.0
Correct frontmatter; all referenced files exist; no scripts.
Security
10.0
No scripts, network, credentials, or untrusted content.
Nine-component profile audit and rewrite with a pass/fail scorecard, goal-matched Featured variants, before-after output shape, and quantified benchmarks. Advisory only: no scripts, no network; input intake assumes pasted content or screenshots without a defined fetch path.
